Free starter prompts for making a Jean Phil video yourself: one image-edit prompt for the look and two image-to-video prompts — Paris shadowboxing and the Gang Gang dance. They are deliberately simple; Jean Phil AI uses its own pipeline for its results.
1 · The look
Turn the person in this photo into Jean Phil: a thick blond bob with a straight fringe, a blond handlebar mustache with curled ends, a brown houndstooth jacket and a striped tie, completely straight face. Keep their own face.
Swap the hair colour or the outfit for any variation.
2 · Paris shadowboxing
Vertical selfie video, 10 seconds: the man from the reference image shadowboxes on a Paris street, completely deadpan, then walks up and stares into the camera.
Use the portrait from step 1 as the reference image.
3 · Gang Gang dance
Vertical video, 10 seconds: the man from the reference image does arm rolls, a knee pop and a spin on a blue-lit stage, then points at the camera — never smiling.
Variations that work
- Pink suit: replace the suit with “pink houndstooth suit jacket, white shirt, dark tie”.
- Yellow polo: “jet-black flared bob”, “curled black handlebar mustache”, “pale yellow polo, black shorts, white knee socks”.
- Any scene: keep it a front-camera selfie, keep him deadpan, and change only the place and the action.
Questions
Which models do these work in?
The look prompt works in image-edit models such as Seedream 5.0 (Dreamina), Nano Banana or GPT Image. The video prompts are for image-to-video models such as Seedance 2.5, Kling or Veo, with your portrait as reference image 1.
Can I change the outfit or hair colour?
Yes — change the hair colour or swap the suit for any outfit. Keep the straight fringe and the curled mustache tips; those make the silhouette.
Is there a free way?
Yes. The prompts behind our samples are on the free prompts page; they work in Seedream + Seedance, Kling or Veo. CapCut also has free Jean Phil templates, but they swap your face onto someone else's clip.
